Utah Bob #35998 14,555 Posted April 23 I had not heard about this. https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2020/04/22/hidalgo-to-order-harris-county-to-wear-masks-in-public-for-30-days/ We’ll see if it flies.

Sedalia Dave 10,689 Posted April 24 In Texas the County Judge fulfills an executive position a lot like a city mayor and not like a criminal judge. Both the Governor and Lt Governor as well as many other county Judges and City mayors have come out and criticizing Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo for her mask requirement. A lawsuit has already been filed. Quote Houston conservative power broker Steve Hotze filed a lawsuit against Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo Thursday, alleging that her order requiring people to cover their faces in public violates the Texas Constitution and conflicts with Gov. Greg Abbott’s stay-at-home order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubious Don #56333 167 Posted April 24 LOL, one thing that's happened with all this is its really flushed out all the little dictators, hasn't it? Sad to see, really, some of us knew what they were all along and its good now everyone can see. Elections have consequences. Happy to see Houston standing up to this.

So it's a office position like our county commissioners that oversees road maintenance, water district, and other chores in running the county. This is about laughable. I'd say time for some civil disobedience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
